This thread is now about one-upmanship.
I rock Iro/Fusion and weigh about
120 pounds more than you. I get snakebite flats on 28mm Conti Gatorskins inflated to 100+psi. I repeatedly break the loc-tite on my chainring bolts. I taco mountain bike rims, then fill them with tasty meat and eat them. (OK, maybe not the meat part.)
Lord, I wish I weighed a lot closer to 140. I get wistful thinking how easy climbing would be...
